A family run company that specialises in fabrics that have a classic english style. I think they are unbeatable for upholstery fabrics being good quality with a great colour palette. 

A discerning collection of furniture, lighting, rugs and accessories, with good design at its heart.  Flavours of art deco and mid-century modern are in evidence, although low-key chic is the overriding message.

Astro stocks a very good quality, versatile range of contemporary light fittings and always seems to have just the right piece for the job. It also carries a good range of bathroom lighting, which can be difficult to find elsewhere.

Beautiful quality carpets with lovely designs that are perfect for wall to wall carpeting or for creating bespoke rugs. They also have a range of lovely stocked rugs in standard sizes. They are trade only so contact them for details of your local supplier. 

Designer and installer of electrical automation systems, including lighting, access, security, entertainment, temperature control and data networking, in homes and commercial buildings. Provides very clever systems that I have no doubt we will all expect in our homes in the future. 

An excellent selection of fun and imaginative furniture, accessories, gifts and more.  It is hard to visit the shop or website and not be at least tempted by something from the extensive range.

This is a truly gorgeous range, with a very versatile and likeable selection of colours. The architectural collection, particularly, is one of the most useful paint ranges I have come across, and one I use all the time. 

Synonymous with iconic designs from the 1950s, this great British brand has design and quality at its heart, which is reflected in their new products as much as the ones we know and love.

Fantastic range of radiators and towel warmers, most available in practically any colour your heart (or scheme) could desire. Every style from ultra-contemporary to cast iron traditional radiators.

Buying at auction is a very special way to shop, and great fun if you approach it in the right way. This auction house makes a brilliant day out; if you are serious about buying, make sure you visit to view all the stock before the auction itself.

This lovely company produces a small but very beautiful range of fabrics, wallpapers, trimmings and accessories. The designs have a vintage french feel and co-ordinate well together. There is lots of inspiration to be had from the gorgeous images on their website.
